Description / content note
-
There was once a time of drought and all the animals gathered together to find water. They deceided that rabbit would be able to find water for them. The rabbit told them that water would be found under the Msendekere tree. So the animals all gathered there and were all digging together. Eventually they got down to the water. They were all delighted and in gratitude they said they should make Kalulu the Rabbit their chief. "A big chief like Kachere himself", a chief over a large district. So rabbit was made chief and all the animals joined in a song of praise, each one making his own kind of noise. The lion roared, the hyenas laughed, the snakes hissed, the cattle lowed, the crocodile grunted, the zebra brayed, the elephant trumpeted and the sheep bleated. They all joined together in a heavy voice of praise. Nthano story song with guitar.
